  • Your therapist bffs

    I recommend this podcast as a reminder of what is reasonable in a world of unreasonable. In particular, check out the Sabrina Carpenter episode. Sam’s thoughts on the objective of art vs the way people either accept or reject it are so important. The way Amanda can speak to power dynamics in relationships and the unique pressures women feel to be one extreme or the other is fascinating. I appreciate these women and the range of ideas they are introducing in such a polarized space. Bonus: Sam, go... more

  • INCREDIBLE

    I’ve been listening to Nuance Needed for months now, and I’m obsessed. What I love most is how they model what they preach - you can literally hear them working through complex ideas in real time, admitting when they don’t have all the answers, and showing how to have nuanced discussions about difficult topics. You can tell they’re genuinely friends who respect each other’s expertise. They bring different strengths to every conversation, and they’re not afraid to get messy . I truly feel like it... more

  • This podcast is a game changer

    This podcast is a game changer and I’m so thrilled I found it. I am very interested in mental health topics but am usually bored by mental health podcasts - until I found nuance needed. I love how the hosts dive into relevant topics in a way that’s relatable and is easy to digest and listen to. It makes me think deeper about things in a way that has actually really helped me grow and learn about myself. I really love the hosts and their dynamic and am so grateful that I found this podcast!!!
